KJV ORIGINAL
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
So actually show that you've changed — don't just talk about it. And don't think you're automatically good with God just because you come from the right family. Trust me, God could turn these rocks into Abraham's descendants if he wanted to.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Your actions need to match your words, and your family name doesn't give you a free pass with God.
